Kershaw’s

There are a plethora of mobile food trucks to choose from. Some are more adept at what they do than others, however. As a result, the quality of food on offer varies. Fortunately, there are some rules of the road for food truck operators. These regulations ensure that all is well in the kitchen. For example, a food truck must operate at a licensed location, with proper hygiene standards in place. The regulations are in place to protect consumers, employees, and the environment. Likewise, the most efficient trucks will be rewarded accordingly. A well-run operation should be able to churn out a tasty meal without breaking a sweat.
